Visit to a Cuban Sugar Plantation.

After few moments converse, by the
invitation of Senior Roderiquez, we arose
and followed him over the plantation.
That seasons crop had all been harvested
and sent away, and the huge crusher,
mammoth tanks and the powerful engine
were lying idle, but outside of the build
ings in which the machinery was placed,
the work of planting was going on quite
briskly. A string of miniature carts,
each drawn by a single bullock which
was driven by negro, backed up in turn
to large pile of matasse (Which is the re-
fuse of the cane after it has passed
through the crusher) and after loading
about as much as a good strong white
man could carry on the tines of pith-
fork, dragged it lazily off to where other
negroes were scraping out long drills in
the rich, mellow soil. In these trenches
the drivers of the carts sprinkled their
load and returned for more. This matasse
forms excellent manure, and is very
strengthening to the land. In one corner
OF the field, and under the shade of a
guava tree, were seated several old
men and young boys with
large pile of cane stalks beside them,
which they were busily engaged in strip
ping off their leaves and ca. ting in halves
the lower part of the stalks to be crushed
and the juice made into sugar for home
consumption, while the top with its ten
der shoots sprouting out at each Joint or
about six inches apart, was for seed.
Sugar cane grows from its sprouts or
stalks and not from kernel of grain as
does our corn, which it slightly resembles
when springing up from the ground. As
we passed about among the workmen,
several of them on seeing the proprietor
and knowing him to be the man of
money, could not resist the temptations
of stopping their work and asking for
their wages. Dropping their hoes or
hating their bullocks, they ran to the
overseer for an order, and back to the
planter, who was obliged to pause and
settle. Some of them, however, on get
ting their money instantly returned to
the overseer and reported themselves for
duty. They seemed to be anxious to get
the money into their possession, appear.
ing to think that the master might make
a trip away from home and they be
obliged to wait till morning for their
pay; at any rate they felt safer to have it
in their own pockets, 1t was a great
bother, but the planter was helpless and
was obliged to make the best of it,

Suffering WOmanhOOd.

Too much effort cannot be made to bring
to the attention Of suffering womanhood the
great value of Lydia e Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as a remedy for the diseases of
women. Such an one is the wife Of General
Barringer, of Winston, N. c., and we quote
from the Generals letter as follows: Dear
Mrs. Finkham: Plea 9 allow ne to add my
testimony to the most excellent medicinal
qualities of your Vegetable Compound. Mrs.
Barringer was treated for several years for
what the physician called Leu ,orrhua and
Prolapsus Uteri combined. 1 sent her to
Richmond, Va, where she remained for six
months under the treatment of an eminent
physician without any permanent benefit
She was induced to try your medicine, and
after a reasonable time commenced to i'm
prove and is now able to attend to her bust
ness and considers herself fully relieved"
General Barringer is the proprietor of the
American Hotel, Winston, N. c., and is
widely known.1

Seals That Have Nightmare.

The sleep of the fur-seal seen on land
is always accompanied by an involuntary,
nervous, muscular twitching and slight
shifting of the flippers, all of which may
be signs, as it were, of their simply hav-
ing nightmare, or of sporting in Wis
ionary way, in some far-off Greenland
sea.
l have studied hundreds of such SOM
nolent examples. Stealing softly up so
close that l could lay my hand upon them
from the point where was sitting and
watching the sleeping seals, have al
ways found their sleep to be of this ner-
vous description.

BANG AWAY.

First, be sure you're in the right,
In whate'er you wish to do,
Even though you have to fight
All the world to push it through;
Then bang away.
Let no feeling of dismay
OverPower your single aim,
Lest the world may truly say
To success you have no claim;
So bang away.
Fate disdains coward heart,
So do you, l dare to say;
Let that never be your part;
Whether work or whether play;
Bang away.

Our Forests

The forests arc precious heritage of
man--they provided him with a cradle ;
they furnished him the soil, AMI they
still offer him their hep in some of his
greatest needs. No man has the right
to destroy them when their destruction
means calamity to his fellows or his sue
cessors. To give the individual the
right to appropriate and overthrow them
at his will is to constitute him cruel
despot. II such privileges exist in the
laws framed by II ortsighted past, it
is time they were annu'led. = Strbner
